Let's be honest - the only thing we care about is "are the programming jobs safe?!" Well, are they?

P.S. I am trying to help a newer dev atm, and I realize I always have only one question for them while basically doing their work "What. the. hell. are. the. business. requirements?"

Suddenly, this makes me feel much more like a business analyst than a code monkey, though being a decent code monkey is definitely a pre-req.

As a sofware developer myself, I’d love to ever see a world where my work is not needed anymore. Wouldn’t that be awesome to have worked so hard toward automation that you can automate your own job?


How apropos, if our own jobs are the first to go.
